* It seems unnecessary to follow the various spellings or misspellings 

 to which this generic name has been subject, such as Eurhinorhynclms 

 Eurinorhynchus, Eurynorynclms, Eurinoryncus, Eurmoi-inchus, Eurino- 

 rhyncKS, Eiirinorinctcs, Eurinorhyncus, and so forth; for there can be 

 little doubt, notwithstanding Dr. Cabanis's remark (J. f. 0. 1859, p. 328, 

 note), that, as originally printed, Prof. Nilsson's is the true orthography : — 

 Eurynorhynchus : th. eiipvvco, dilato ; pvyxos, rostrum. The same may bo 

 said of Tlatdea and PlatalcBci for Platalea, and pyymca for pyynicca, to say 

 nothing of yrisceus for yriseus !
